 The Nohbakim are scavengers found on the Sea of Sand in the Himaat Desert, each one a "chimera", in that, while more or less a basic humanoid, each one sports a random selection of features that suggest one race or another, in a dizzying array of colors. This one may have feathers, this one scales, another both and a beak and some vestigal wings and three tails and a few horns sticking out here and there for good measure. They defy easy classification as a "race", though they all share a high tolerance of toxic substances ... quite probably because their villages are built around the "Deadwater" oases of the desert, which prove harmful or even fatal to most who drink of the waters ... and which spawn strange plants which are as bizarre and varied as the Nohbakim themselves. The Nohbakim sail across the sea of sand on large Sand Triremes and smaller Kooshkie Sleds, living a scavenger life and often a violent one as they fight amongst themselves and other desert denizens over scant resources. Scavengers as they are, their jewelry often consists of trash that they treat like treasure, and their mish-mash of patchwork attire (unique to each Nohbakim's body form) gives them an often colorful appearance.
